Hope

I have written maybe 7 posts that I cannot bring myself to publish. They are about everything from growing tomatoes to wheeled Mayan toys to serial killers but despite my efforts to unearth deeper truth about life and human nature, everything sounds preachy or hurt and angry.

Faith has been on my mind and its association to relationships. This topic has consumed me for almost a year. Some conclusions are presenting themselves but they are fragmented. A friend, Courtney, posted something on her blog, and I wanted to post a link because it discusses something that is impressive to me: humility. Although everyone is guilty of pride in some way, when the dearth thereof is characterized in film or television, we connect to that person; we love them.

I have faith that there are people who take responsibility for their actions and not push blame on other people. People who say, "What can I do to make this relationship better?" instead of saying, "It is your fault." If they make a mistake, they try to fix it. These people are more worried about what others feel, more than their own discomfort. They exist. Their qualities of kindness and humility are more important than any achievements or wealth they accumulate. They have my respect and I want to say, "Thank you."

This is the blog.
